Chapter 409 Hitching A Plane Ride.
âIn the afternoon, weâll go see your uncle,â he suggested, noticing Cheriseâs slightly swollen eyes. âYou wouldnât want your Uncle to see you like this, right? How about using a warm compress, and once youâre feeling better, weâll head over, okay?â
Cherise hesitated for a moment but then nodded in agreement.
She hurried upstairs, holding a towel soaked in hot water. Just as she placed it on her eyes, her phone started ringing. It was a call from Zachary
He seemed to be in a noisy and crowded place.
âHey, Bunny!â The voice on the other end of the line was still clear, with a hint of playfulness,
Cherise pursed her lips. âHmm.â
Honestly, she was grateful to Zachary for what happened the previous day. When she was in the study at the Wool Residence, Maeveâs words had deeply affected her.
At that moment, she genuinely believed that she wasnât good enough for Damien and that breaking up with him was the best option.
Fortunately, Zachary arrived just in time. He gave her a firm shake on the shoulders and used comforting words to help her overcome her profound sorrow.
It was he who reminded her of the love she shared with Damien.
Cherise took a deep breath, her tone somewhat playful. âWhatâs up?â
Before, when Zachary annoyed her, she often found him irritating. She had even suspected that Zachary might have hidden motives, especially with the somewhat ambiguous term âBunnyâ he used to address her.
But now, Cherise felt she might have judged too quickly.
Zachary wasnât as carefree as he seemed on the surface. At least, in a real crisis, he could be relied

âI want to bid you farewell.â
The man chuckled softly. âHearing your cheerful voice, I guess everything is good now, right?â
âGod knows how easily influenced and gullible you are, Bunny!â
Cherise blushed a little. She smiled and asked, âAre you leaving now?â
âYeah.â

Zachary grinned, Iâm currently at the airport.â
âIâm here on a mission to bring someone back, and Iâve already found that person, so I wonât have time to join you in your studies this time.â
âBut, if you ever want to see me in the future, youâll have to score perfectly in all your final exams; otherwise, I wonât pay you a visit!â
Cherise pursed her lips. âIâll be back in Adania in a few hours.â
âAre you leaving already? I wonât be able to see you offâŠâ
âNo need to see me off.â
Zachary smiled and said, âWell then. Weâll meet again soon.
âAll good things must come to an end. Itâs time for us to go our separate ways.â
The manâs tone shifted into surprising seriousness. âValue the time you have with Damien. If your bond with him is tarnished by someone like Maeve, youâll be the one who loses out.â
With that, he decisively ended the call.
Cherise listened to the sudden dial tone on the phone, feeling somewhat perplexed. Why did she get the feeling that Zachary was more mysterious than she had previously thought?
Meanwhile, at the Adania airport, Mandy, holding her luggage, looked at Zachary and the stern- faced Kareen beside him with disdain. âYou two canât be serious about hitching a ride on my flight, seriously?â
âYes.â Zachary nodded, wearing a sly grin, and casually placed his hand on Kareenâs shoulder. âMs. Wool, please consider our situation. We werenât given a generous budget for this trip!â
